Detroit needs to keep playing the old school way, they need to take it hard off from the start, and keep their energy high. The Lions will be able to get their play to the next level against the Chicago DBs - getting into the deep half of the field anytime they want to, and they should be able to do just that.

The Bears play kind of speaks for itself, giving up a whopping 50.5% on 3rd downs to opponents and a 3-6 record. Chicago tends to fold in big games - it's only 9 games in, and this seems like a typical divisional game right here between 2 struggling rivals. I don't like Chicago trying to make QBs pass much, it doesn't really keep them on edge. The Lions are built from the outside and are stronger on the edges than Chicago.

The Bears are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC North.



PRECICTION: LIONS WINS 25-23
